In the morning when I wake up and listen to the soundOf the birds outside on the roofI try to ignore what the paper saysAnd I try not to read all the newsAnd I'll hold you if you had a bad dreamAnd I hope it never comes true'Cause you and I been through so many things togetherAnd the sun starts climbing the roof

It's a dream Only a dream And it's fading now Fading away It's only a dream Just a memory without anywhere to stay

The Red River stills flows through my home townRollin' and tumblin' on its waySwirling around the old bridge pylonsWhere a boy fishes the morning awayHis bicycle leans on an oak treeWhile the cars rumble over his headAn aeroplane leaves a trail in an empty blue skyAnd the young birds call out to be fed

It's a dream Only a dream And it's fading now Fading away It's only a dream Just a memory without anywhere to stay

An old man walks along on the sidewalkSunglasses and an old Stetson hatThe four winds blow the back of his overcoat awayAs he stops with the policeman to chatAnd a train rolls out of the stationThat was really somethin' in its dayPicking up speed on the straight prairie railsAs it carries the passengers away

It's gone Only a dream And it's fading now Fading away It's only a dream Just a memory without anywhere to stay

It's a dream Only a dream And it's fading now Fading away It's only a dream Just a memory without anywhere to stay
